Tip of the Spear

This afternoon, with my truck well into the E portion of the fuel gauge, I pulled into the gas station nearest my home. I also needed to fill up my gas can so I could get to the first yard work of 2008. So any guesses to the total? This trip set a personal record at $86.35.

With that I am inspired to take you back to the summer of 97. The photo to the right has not been doctored in anyway. I am actually paying $0.69 a gallon in Hinesville, Georgia. So taking my 86 buck to the pumps that weekend, I could have filled up an Abrams.
